Gouki - OB G37x Coupe
Gouki - OB G37x Coupe
I guess I feel like my car warrants a build thread now.
It even has a name
. Black and red isn't exactly the most creative color scheme but there's a reason I bought a black car. I played with some other ideas, like an Iron Man inspired color scheme but ultimately I wanted a black car.

Front: 20x8.5 +25 | 245/35
Rear: 20x10 +40 | 285/30
I'll post my alignment sheet when I get it checked. I somehow think I could run lower offsets with more negative camber and still be in spec.

As I bought it
More symmetrical without the G37x
GTR start button with the swapped guts. Actually cut some of those plastic flosser things to get the clips off - felt like that'd be gentler
Standard keyhole delete
I hate chrome
GTR map lenses added 5HP & DD goodness
CAI was a bit more than I anticipated
More debadge
Dropped on Eibach
City lights swapped
Fogs, although the cheapest 6000k option from DD was a mistake so gonna go to 3000k
Vinyl wrap Interior trim
My first attempt at aftermarket wheels - Niche Enyo
BlueBatMobile on the tails
Followed a DIY and put my grounding kit together
Paddle shifters were a pretty easy install
Tanabe FSTB - thanks Newt
Wheels round 2 - Niche Form
After failing to vinyl wrap my grill I had it painted in OB at a shop. Everything but the front of the emblem is also OB
You've seen it a million times but...
Sport pedals; also nothing new
Can't tell you how nervous I was lining up the template and drilling the holes. I think I did a good job though.

Nice choice w/ your second round of wheels, they look superb on that black G. BTW, how do you like the T1 Sports? Also post your tire & wheel specs on top if you don't mind~always helpful for those looking to get the same setup.
Not sure how to gauge the T1 Sports. It's not like my car is boosted but it does feel like the power I do have at the wheels is reaching the road "better". I have way more traction than on my stock 18s - but that might be a combination heavier wheels and summer vs AS tires, meh.

. "03/28/15 - Eibach Pro Kit", so since Saturday, March 28th. The car feels nice and planted; body roll was significantly reduced (used to see the car shake at start). The 6K fogs LOOK great, but that's it. As I mentioned I went with the cheapest option, so the look is all I got - usable light not so much.All my LEDs are from DiodeDynamics - a supporting vendor on here. The map lenses I got from ConceptZPerformance(also a supporting vendor I believe??), but they can be found a few different places. And Thanks.
I finally went ahead and ordered my spoiler with the ESTORE2015 coupon code. Ended up paying ~ $365. Should hopefully have that soon and then I can deal with the anxiety of drilling holes in my trunk.
Currently debating getting the Sport Muffler, since that can be had for ~$550 if ordered from Willow Grove. Although at one point I was sure I was doing a full FI exhaust, but now I'm semi considering doing just an axle back for sound - maybe the sport, or a topspeed/beluga, or that used Tanabe in the classifieds(for now anyway).
